Observe: "Describe what you see." I see a group of Negros on the sidewalk outside a shop. The shop looks prety beat and in bad condition. "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed was the condition of the shop. It just looks so beaten up and worn down. "What people and objects are shown?" The people shown in the picture appear to be Negros. I see a sign on the sidewalk that has fallen over as well as what appears to be a stray dog. Reflect: "Why do you think this image was made?" I think this image was made to show what people did during the Great Depression in Alabama. "When do you think it was made?" I think this picture was taken around the time of the Great Depression. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that the conditions of the streets and shops back then were not as good as they are today. Question: Why are those men sitting outside the shop? Who owns that dog? What type of shop is that?

Observe: "Describe what you see." I see corn, grass, and very dry land. The corn looks very withered. "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed in this picture was the dried up corn. "What people and objects are shown?" Ther are no people shownn this picture. The objects in this image are dried up corn stalks. Reflect: "Why do you think this image was made?" I think this picture was taken to show that droughts and withered crops were common in the south at the time of the Great Depression. "What’s happening in the image?" It appears that the corn is witheredand verydry due to economic and environmental issues. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that droughts were very common in the south and many crops can be lost because of them. Question: What will happen to these withered crops? How are droughts delt with? Who took this picture, a farmer or localist?

Observe: "Describe what you see." I see three children with raggity clothes and the picture seems to be focusing on their feet. "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed was the boy all the way to the right. He has very beat up clothing and no shoes. "What is the physical setting?" The physical setting of this picture is a farm in Alabama. Reflect: "Why do you think this image was made?" I think this picture was taken to show us that times were tough during the Great Depression and kids were faced with tough situations. "What’s happening in the image?" Three children are standing on the porch at their farm home in Alabama. The kids appear to be wearing beat up clothing and no shoes. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that children's lives were very tough during the Great Depression and they couldn't even afford shoes or good clothing. Question: Why don't those children have shoes? How can a child live with such beaten up clothing and no shoes? Who owns that one pair of shoes. Observe: "Describe what you see." I see a movie theatre and two colored men standing outside of it. "What, if any, words do you see?" The words I see in this picture are "REX THEATRE: For Colored People," roght on the front of the theatre. "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed was the huge words on the movie theatre. Reflect: "Why do you think this image was made?" I think this image was made to show us how whites and colored people were split up in society and the community. "If someone made this today, what would be different?" Today, movie theatres aren't only for colored people. We now have interrascial movie theatres where anyone can go enjoy a great film. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that back around the time of the Great Depression there was a lot of ratial divide and social issues involving white and colored people. Question: What movie will those two men see if they see one? Why do colored and white people have seperate movie theatres? How can the colored and white people compromise?
A cafe near the tobacco market, Durham, North Carolina
Observe: "Describe what you see." I see a quick lunch cfe with two entrances; one for colored people and one for white people. "What, if any, words do you see?" The major words in this image are the words above the two entraces that say "WHITE" and "COLORED." "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed was the two separate entrances for the the two racial groups. Reflect: "Why do you think this image was made?" To show how whites and colored people were separated. "If someone made this today, what would be different?" There would only be one entrance for everyone to enter in, not two separatig two racial groups. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that racism was so severe, restaurants had different entrances for different rcial groups. Question: What does the inside of the restaurant look like? Where do those entrances lead to? Whos idea was it to make two entrances. Observe: "Describe what you see." I see quite a few colored men hanging around outside a colored only pool hall. "What people and objects are shown?" There are a bunch of colored men in this picture along with a car from that time. "What do you notice first?" The first thing I noticed was the sign that says "Rex Billiard Hall for Colored." Reflect: "What’s happening in the image?" Colored men are habing around outside of a pool hall for only colored people. "If someone made this today, what would be different?" Today, there wouldn't be an all colored pool hall. Instead, both whites and colored people would be allowed to go inside. "What can you learn from examining this image?" I can learn that racism divided many social gathering sites, like this pool hall. Question: Why are those colored men not inside the pool hall and just hanging around outside? Where do the white men go to play pool? What are these men doing outside?
